CONNECTION

The RS232 Interface Kit cable terminates with a 9 pin Sub-D female connector.
Active pins: Pin 2 = TXD, Pin 3 = RXD, Pin 5 = Ground, Pins 4 and 6 are connected for hardware
handshake, Pin 7 = CTS, Pin 8 = RTS.

The Interface connector will connect directly to a computer, an Ohaus printer and many other printers.

OPERATION

RS232 OUTPUT

With the Adapter installed the balance will operate in one of the following three ways:

RS232 = on, Auto Print = off, Stable = on or off
Pressing PRINT will send the display data.
If Stable is set to On, the balance will wait for a stable reading before sending data.

RS232 = on, Auto Print = on, Stable = on or off
The balance will automatically send data based on the settings in the Menu.
If Stable is set to On, only stable values will be sent.

RS232 = off
The interface is turned off. During battery operation, this saves significant power.


Data sent from the Interface is in standard ASCII format terminated with a [CRLF] (carriage return-
line feed). The output format is as follows:

[weight]

10 characters (right justified)

[space] 1

character

[unit]

5 characters max (left justified)
